Care Instructions

Buds will form in autumn and stay on the plant all winter. When the buds start to open in early spring throw a handful of blood and bone with trace elements around the base of the plant and water in well.

Cut off any old flower stems. Prune back flowering stems after flowering each year. New shoots will appear just below the cut.
